# JcJh — pocket jacks (clubs and hearts)

**Open-raise from every position.** JcJh ranks 4 of the 169 distinct starting hands
(top 1.4%). Against one random hand it wins
77.16% of showdowns and takes 77.49% of the pot.

## What this hand is

Pocket jacks (clubs and hearts). Before any board card is dealt its odds are identical to
JcJd, JcJs, JdJh, JdJs, JhJs — suits are interchangeable pre-flop, so all
6 combinations in class JJ share the numbers below.
That stops being true the moment the board has suits, which is what the paid
record covers.

## Equity against random opponents

| Opponents | Win % | Tie % | Pot equity % |
| --------- | ----- | ----- | ------------ |
| 1 | 77.16 | 0.65 | 77.49 |
| 2 | 60.72 | 0.70 | 61.01 |
| 3 | 48.77 | 0.75 | 49.08 |
| 4 | 39.99 | 0.81 | 40.32 |
| 5 | 33.26 | 0.82 | 33.60 |
| 6 | 28.15 | 0.87 | 28.52 |
| 7 | 24.23 | 0.89 | 24.62 |

Monte Carlo, 400,000 trials per row, seed 1 —
same seed, same digits. "Pot equity" counts outright wins plus a share of split
pots, which is the number to compare against pot odds.

## Head-to-head, exact

Against the opponent's whole hand class, not one chosen pair of cards: every
combination of it you do not block, each enumerated over all 1,712,304
boards. No sampling. "Combos" is how many were averaged.

| Against | Hero pot equity % | Hero win % | Split % | Combos |
| ------- | ----------------- | ---------- | ------- | ------ |
| AA | 18.85 | 18.65 | 0.41 | 6 |
| KK | 18.46 | 18.25 | 0.44 | 6 |
| QQ | 18.03 | 17.81 | 0.44 | 6 |
| JJ | 50.00 | 2.17 | 95.65 | 1 |
| TT | 81.99 | 81.77 | 0.44 | 6 |
| 77 | 80.91 | 80.71 | 0.40 | 6 |
| 22 | 81.87 | 81.60 | 0.54 | 6 |
| AKs | 54.04 | 53.83 | 0.42 | 4 |
| AKo | 56.85 | 56.65 | 0.41 | 12 |
| AQs | 54.12 | 53.91 | 0.42 | 4 |
| JTs | 82.18 | 81.16 | 2.04 | 2 |
| 76s | 78.25 | 78.07 | 0.38 | 4 |

Averaging matters here. Against a single representative the answer shifts with
the suits — J♣T♣ takes 17.77% against Q♣Q♦ but 18.89% against Q♠Q♦, because the
shared club both blocks a flush and removes cards. Averaged over the class the
figure is the same whichever suits you hold, which is what makes it quotable.

## What this page cannot tell you

Pre-flop equity is not a strategy. It ignores stack depth, bet sizing, and how
your opponents actually play. The verdict above is a conventional opening chart,
not solver output. Equity against a random hand is also not equity against a
range: an opponent who raises has better than random cards, and this page does
not model that.
